Alabama makes Top 10 list of Olympic gold medalists. Do you know who they are? (photos)

Where does Alabama rank in the number of Olympic medals won for the United States? As you might imagine, not very high for winter events but Alabama natives have racked up plenty of hardware at the Summer Olympics.

BusinessInsider.com recently ranked which states have the most medal winners overall, which have the most for Winter Olympics and which for Summer Olympics.

A note about the methodology: Business Insider counted only gold medals won by individuals since 1924, so team sports were not included. Also, the researchers used state of birth. There have been many Olympians who attended college or lived in Alabama but they were not counted as part of this list.

The only gold medal won by an Alabamian in the Winter Olympics was Vonetta Flowers of Birmingham and that was as part of a bobsledding team. Read story here.

When combining states with most gold medalists in both summer and winter Olympics, here are the Top 10, according to Business Insider: California, 122; New York, 61; Illinois, 37; Ohio, 32; Texas, 32; Pennsylvania, 23; Michigan, 20; Wisconsin, 19; New Jersey, 19; and Maryland, 18.

1936, Jessie Owens of Oakville, 100-meter sprint, 200-meter and long jump. (He also won gold in the 4-by-400-meter relay, which was not counted in Business Insider's list of individual gold-medal winners.)

1960, Otis Davis of Tuscaloosa, 400-meter sprint. Also won gold in 4-by-400-meter relay.
